October Top Commenters

Ok, so how is everybody? I know I have been away for quite some time. After the hospital confinement, I was so lazy to go online when the girls are asleep. The sleepless nights at the hospital took a toll on me and I automatically doze off with my girls. Thank goodness there were no pending work that time. Then when things were better, I pursued hubby to let us go with them to visit Inay Toning in Zambales. Inay Toning is hubby’s grandmother and she suffered from stroke early last month. I brought along the netbook with me but there was no signal in Zambales. That was three days of being disconnected from the cyberspace!

Enough of the excuses. Shall we start this month right? And the uncontested winner of the October Top Commenter giveaway, who made seventy (70) sensible comments on my posts, is no other than Malou! I will be sending you an email to ask for your paypal ID. To the others who gave me continuous love, GRACIE!!!!

  1. Malou

  5. The Pepperrific Life

The NOVEMBER TOP COMMENTER will also get $5 in paypal. Now, to give others a chance, previous winners can only win once in a quarter. In this case, Malou will be able to win again in January. Fair enough? Comment away ladies and gents! I love reading your thoughts.

This month, since it is my birth month, apart from the one month ad space on this PR2 blog, I will be giving away $5 to my most active reader. I know that is not much. But who knows, this month will be full of blessing and I will be able to add more to that.

Thanks again to my readers and I hope you continue reading this blog.

Blogging and Making Money

I have said it before and I will say it again. I love blogging because it keeps me sane. I also love the fact that as I keep myself sane, I get paid to blog.

Back in 2004, I caught a former colleague laughing her heart out in her cubicle. I got curious then she told me why she was laughing hard. She asked me, Have you tried blogging?. I was probably deaf or she really did not say it loud enough for me to hear because I heard her say PLUGGING. So I told her a story how me and my classmates when into this radio station to plug about a certain event at our school as part of our project. The she cleared to me that she was asking about BLOGGING. That is how I was introduced to this online diary.

During the first years, I only blog when I am happy, angry, excited or depressed. Most of the things I wrote were about my feelings and nothing else. I guess my teenage life was not that exciting. Hahaha! Then I got married and had my first born. At this point, I was slowly learning that writing about the things that interest me could also interest others, specially the experiences of a first-time mommy.

In 2008, I met fellow moms who became my teachers and friends. They taught me how I can make money in blogging. Up to now, they are still my friends and we earn together online.

I may not be earning much at this point but I do not worry because I enjoy blogging very much, not to mention I get paid at the comforts of my pajamas. 🙂

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
